bearing carrier ?

[87250rxrider]

is there any difference between an 86 250r bearing carrier and an 88-89 bearing carrier?
i had an 88-89 swingarm but i got an 86, b/c i don't have the time to fab a mount to use the 88-89, and i have the carrier from my 88, and i am wondering if it will fit in the 86 swingarm? i need to know ASAP!
thanks,

you proabably have a 85 atc swinger, they have a smaller diameter carrier on the outside.

i purchased the swinger off of 250r baja rider on this forum, and i saw pics of it on the quad, and he said it was an 86...thats all i know!

Dumb question, did you remove teh locking bolt on the swing arm before trying to put it in? or doesnt it go in at all?

[87250rxrider]

i removed the locking bolt, but the carrier goes in about 1 inch, and then it stops going in further and won't go in at all, even with a lot of pressure.

has the swinger been painted? or are the carrier seals binding? :confused:

[87250rxrider]

250r baja rider told me that the carrier will go in, but it is very tight, so, thats what the problem is.

they say u r supposed to grease around the carrier for this reason and when u r adjusting it its alot easier to move around.
